I finally got into the Integrative Medicine practice yesterday. It was a very long, 2-hour appointment, but she covered every little nook and cranny of my health. She told me that all my conditions - fibro, IBS, GERD, rosacea - are all because of inflammation in my body. She wants me to go on...
I was diagnosed about 3 years ago and my pain, fatigue and cognitive issues have only gotten worse. They are all so bad, I had to stop working and can't enjoy any part of life. My depression has reached a point that I just don't know what to do anymore. I am hoping that I can find someone to...
